"Especially at Ratu Plaza shelter, from Blok M to Kota Tua. So, busses in whole corridor one of Transjakarta will be free of charge," Deputy Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama said recently in event of Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2013.

Implementation of ERP systems is expected to reduce the number of vehicles in several congestion points in Jakarta. Government of Jakarta also plans to implement parking fees according to each zone area.
